I met Tamara 22 years ago when we were just 4 years old. We were inseparable for many many years. We lived next door to each other and spent every waking moment together. Our moms even had to put requests in with the school district to have Tamara and I put into the same class each year. We use to sit by our windows until the other person got home and then the phone would ring with a little girl voice on the other end asking "Can sarah (or tamara) come out and play?" haha. We were truly the best of friends. Not much has changed 22 years later. We live in separate places, but we are still best friends and being there to watch her get married to such a wonderful man...... well.... I did a lot of crying happy tears. My photos are set up backwards. So start at the bottom and work your way up. I can't wait to see the professional photos from the wedding. I was only able to capture what I could here and there during all the excitement of the day, and my mom helped me a lot too. We had such a great time! Please enjoy the pictures! One of these days I'll type up my toast and put it on here.

The Wedding Cake! --Gotta love that topper. Fits them perfectly!
Candy Table ---isn't that an awesome idea!!
This is me giving my toast. I knew it was good because I wrote every word from the heart to my best friend and her husband. I had no idea how much it would touch the hearts of everyone there. I had many teary eyes and people asking me for a copy of the toast. It was a wonderful experience. I was so honored to give the toast at her wedding. She is such an incredible person and writing a toast for her was a piece of cake. :-)
